Here you can see the Process of Cabinet Building. By taking this virtual tour through our shop, you will see the complete process of making the beautiful cabinets you are about to enjoy.

1. Optimization & Ordering

2. Machining Parts

3. Cabinet Assembly

4. Inspection & Finishing Preperation (Sanding)

After the design process is finalized, and you have made selections. We measure the room that your cabinets will be going in. Often measurements need to be changed slightly to ensure that your custom cabinets will be a perfect fit. Using power CAD Software, we make the necessary changes to the sizes. Also at this time, we “optimize” the layout to make sure the cabinets will work with the appliances (if you’ve picked them out); to be sure there are no “flaws” or that anything was overlooked in the design process. Then we generate orders for any items needed to complete your cabinetry, for example, hinges, knobs, doors, and cabinet materials. The job is now ready to start it’s way through the shop...

Our cabinets feature premium grade plywood boxes and interiors, here you can see our large inventory of premium cabinet making material.

After the job has been optimized in out software, we can export part lists directly to our CNC Machine to to cut all the cabinet parts (Except Doors & Front Frames).

All our cabinet face-frames are made from premium grade solid wood. Each peice is hand picked, and inspected for soundness, and defects, before it is cut on a specilized chop saw. We use a Tiger-Stop system to ensure that we get ultra accurate cuts, every time.

After all the parts have been cut to the required length, they are carefully assembled. We glue each and every joint, then reinforce them with a screw specially designed for this type of joint. After the faces are assembled, they are sanded in a wide-belt sander, and re-inspected to make sure each joint is sturdy.

After the Cabinet parts are cut and machined to their proper size and shape, they are thoroughly sanded. The parts are now ready to be assembled into a cabinet. Using the Face Frame Assembled in the last step, the parts are assembeled, and a cabinet begins to take shape. All the joints of the cabinet are glued, and fit snugly into dados (Grooves). To reinforce this already sturdy joint we use staples or brads for extreme holding power.

After being assembeled each cabinet is sanded to prepare it for the finishing process. While the cabinet is being sanded is the perfect time to inspect the cabinet from every angle to check for anything that may not pass Kitchen Craft’s stringent quality standards.

5. Finishing

After sanding the cabinets are ready to be finished. We hand rub our stained finishes with care to produce consistent coloring time after time. If you might have chosen a painted finish for your cabinet; a minimum of two coats of paint will be sprayed onto the cabinets. After staining or painting the cabinets are sprayed with a special “sealer”. This sealer will help to keep the wood from expanding or contracting due to humididty or temperature changes. Because this sealing process makes the wood feel rough again, the cabinets are once again sanded before we apply a premium protective top-coat.

After the cabinets and doors are finished they are ready to be hardwared. In this step the doors and drawers are installed in the cabinets. Any accessories are also installed. This is the final step before the cabinets are carefully wrapped in blankets and loaded into our delivery vehicle. The cabinets are now ready to be delivered and installed in your home.
